Still strong after all these years, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey and friends sounded incredible last week in Oakland. Although I wasn't into the Quadrophrenia album that much, it was good to hear it live. I am glad they played some of their old standards at the end of the concert. Pete's brother, Simon, played rhythm guitar and vocals. I didn't realize that he was a successful musician in his own right. There was a wonderful tribute to John Entwistle and Keith Moon. I was glad that I saw the original four in the 60's and then we caught John Entwistle when he was touring with Ringo Star shortly before he died 10 years ago.

I decided to shoot in S-mode keeping the speed at around 1/100 to capture the action, so the ISO was a high as 800 on most of the shots. These guys were moving around much more than the last concert we went to (Peter Gabriel) which I shot at 100 ISO to keep the noise levels down. It's all about tradeoffs. Consequently, these shots are not as sharp and crisp as I like, but I got what I wanted and that's to document the experience. C&C always welcomed.
